ThinkFree, the US arm of Haansoft, the Korean ISV that Office used to regularly take out in the alley and pummel around the kidneys until it finally called up the antitrust police, has integrated an online beta application called Docs that it created with Facebook so the Facebook crowd can publish, upload and share documents.

Presumably the advertisement will lead Facebook people to use ThinkFree's free Office-looking/Office-compatible (.doc, .xls, .ppt) online office productivity suite, also still in beta that includes a word processor, spreadsheet presentation software and 1GB of storage.

Back in February it was supposed to have 250,000 registered users. Facebook is supposed to have 30 million registered users.
